Gentle Cleansing Face Wash – Comforting Cleanser for Sensitive, Dry Skin
Meet our award-winning gentle cleansing face wash — a soothing, natural face wash created for sensitive and dry skin. With a mild castile-soap base and comforting botanicals, it lifts away daily impurities while helping your barrier feel calm and comfortable. If you’ve been searching for a face wash for sensitive skin that leaves you fresh — not tight — this is it.
Why it’s different
Many cleansers rely on harsh surfactants or strong perfume, which can disrupt the skin barrier. This formula prioritises comfort: a light, creamy foam rinses clean without squeakiness, so skin feels soft and balanced and ready for your serum or moisturiser.
How it helps sensitive, dry skin
-
Comforts & soothes: calming botanicals help reduce the look of redness after cleansing.
-
Maintains hydration: humectants draw in moisture so skin feels supple, not stripped.
-
Supports the barrier: skin-friendly pH and low-foam action help keep things balanced.
